Abstract
Systems and methods for locating microserver nodes in proximity to edge devices using georouting. Microservers automatically form a global peer-to-peer network to serve edge functions and content to edge devices. Edge devices use HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to execute serverless functions or otherwise retrieve data from edge nodes and/or microservers located in proximity to the HTTP client. The cloud platform locates the nearest edge node and/or microserver. Edge devices georoute HTTP requests to the nearest edge node and/or microserver. Serverless functions are implemented in secure, isolated environments using a blockchain.

A system for locating node devices in proximity to edge devices using georouting, comprising:
- at least one cloud platform including at least one edge platform application programming interface (API), at least one node database, and at least one edge platform router;
- at least one node device containing an edge platform executor and at least one hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) server program;
- at least one edge device including an HTTP client;
- wherein the at least one edge device is in network communication with the at least one cloud platform and the at least one node device;
- wherein the at least one edge device is operable to transmit an initial HTTP request to the at least one cloud platform;
- wherein the at least one edge device is operable to receive an HTTP response from the at least one cloud platform;
- and
- wherein the at least one edge device is operable to transmit at least one additional HTTP request to a nearest node device based on the HTTP response from the at least one cloud platform.
